The people of Montreal will probably not
be surprised over the exposure Of their own
"boodlc" Aldermen. With so many expert
thieves from this side living in lavish style
in that city, it is only natural that the local
Aldermen should learn how the "boodle'
business is carried on. Montreal should bcstn
itself to get rid of its thieves, both OF the
importcd and domestic kind.

their nominating conventions earlier than usual
Tins Is probably good thing. In view of the
importance OF the Mayoralty election 1t will be
well To he early in the field With proper dill
gcncc and vigor tn the campaign there Is no doubt
that the majority who are opposed to the corrupt
and dIsefacctul methods of the Mclaughlin ring
can be brought to the polls. The votes are there.
All that Is required is to get them cast.

The confidence of the officers of the Health
Department in their ability to stamp out
cholera, should it appear in this city, is re-
assuring. They regard the disease as less
dangerous than diphtheria, because it more
readily yields to sanitary measures. But the
Health Commissioners think that there is no
danger of the disease reaching the city.
There is good ground for this belief. yellow
fever and similar diseases appear every year
at Quarantine, but they never get TO the city.
WHY should cholera?

The correspondence Between Secretary
Whitney and Admiral Luce on the fishery
matter comes rather late, but is none the
less interesting. The Admilal's circulation
of Captain SCOTS unauthorized statement OF
the Canadian claim was mistake, the evil
effects OF which are clearly pointed out by
Secretary Whitney, who had reason to feel
annoyed at finding his department critics ed
for something of which he was ignorant. But
Admiral Luce's intentions were all right and
considering the course of the Administration
on this matter he was less TO blame than APP
pears on the surface. Hence the public will
be glad TO know that he is to retain his COM
maBd.

4 few days ago Civil SerFis Com
missioneF Edgerton put a young lady
candidate through an examination she
did not bargain for. The young lady
came in to bis Office with face as red
as a full blown rose. But on close
examination the cival service commits
siOner, who although old in years, is
young in sight and heart, discovered
that this rosy hue was secured by paint
and powder. Mr.. Edgerton hates any
thing unatufal OF artificial, and he
looked at the young lady for a while
and asked her if she ever expects
husband. The young lady was rather
startled at the question, but replied,
"CeFtainly.' Then, replied Mr.Ed-
gefto2, ''if | was young man and
callingtO see you, would prefer to
see yourface. Do you suppose q man

was young the girls were natural and
did not daub their faces all over with

say the above because his years allow
him to speak, and after a few minuets

cival servic commissioner for his ad-
vice, and said hereafter she would use

word, for she called on him day or
so later and locked as fresh as a daiSz

1t is preposterous idea for men to
think that the railroad is going to build
four or five bridges across the Solomon
in Graham county in order to get a
few dollars more Of bonds. Bridge
building IS expensive work and the
company will never accept all Of those
propositions in order to accomodate
one or two towns. 1t is not at all
probable that the Mo. Pacific is going
into the pontoon bridge business out
here in Graham county, Il is our
candid and unbiased opinion, based
upon the statements Of Mr.. Pagan,
that the line would cross the river at
or near the southwest corner Of this
township, pass over across
the corner of Wildhorse and on to
MillhrOok and cross the river again at
Fremont, leaving Hill City out, or else
pass through the county on the porth
side of the river, give Hill City a road
and leave Hillbrook out Some of
the propositions will never be accepted
amp some town is going to get left. 1t
is question that will about settle the
much vexed and anOying county seat
war which has been waging around the
hub Of this county for seven years.
